 * Free version has no useful capabilities, it is a fake plugin that just advertises
   the paid version. As such I feel it should not be here.

 * Hello andybrandt,
 * Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
 * The plugin adds Markdown tools only to the [WordPress Block Editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/wordpress-block-editor/)
   sidebar. If you’re using the Classic Editor or a third-party visual editor, most
   of the plugin’s features will not be available. In that case, the plugin may 
   indeed appear non-functional.
 * It’s important to note that this requirement applies equally to both the free
   and pro versions. While this is clearly stated in the plugin documentation, we
   acknowledge that it was a mistake on our part not to highlight this directly 
   within the plugin interface as well. We understand that many users install and
   test plugins quickly, and we should do more to make these requirements immediately
   visible.
 * Thank you again for your input. It’s helpful for improving the plugin experience.
